Of course, within the harsh actuality of life, an advanced heist doesn’t go down as easily as those carried out in Ocean’s films. This fashionable and fascinating caper lays out the explanation why.

The story begins off in ominous glory, as a reserved household prepares to attend the funeral of its ultra-private 78-year-old matriarch. Her dying units off a terrifying chain of supernatural occasions that yield little rationalization and loads of jump-scares. Her daughter (Toni Collette) tries to make sense of the insanity, to little avail. Steel your self for beheadings, bugs, exorcisms, séances and, yikes, a classically creepy youngster (Milly Shapiro).
